Healing Touch

Healing Touch and Reiki Energy Medicines exist in a paradigm based on the idea that energy and consciousness underlies the physical and biochemical structures of the body. Setting the intention to serve the greatest and highest good of the individual is the starting point for any Energy Medicine session. It is believed that our energy field contains all of our memories, consequently, through energy work, process and healing can take place on another level of awareness. For a practitioner of Energy Medicine, feelings of compassion and love with the intent to facilitate healing are created in the heart. These feelings modify the electrical energies of the heart, which travel through the nerves and the electrically conducive vascular system into the hands, where they create healing biofields that are induced into the client. These methods also serve to calm the client so their immune functions can operate effectively. Healing Touch and Reiki are not substitutes for traditional medical care. No two diseases and no two courses of healing will ever be exactly alike. However, Healing Touch and Reiki have been shown to be beneficial for many people in helping to process stressors of everday life which can impede our experience of living fully and joyfully.
